It appears as if Trump is getting concrete action.
Now if he can only remind our PM of how important citizens civil liberties are. When police abuse the rights of citizens, our allies find out. For all that Trudeau gets criticism there is at least that shimmer of hope that he protects the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. After all, it was his father who enacted this in 1982 and has forever kept him in the minds of citizens. The problem is, how easily it is violated as police agencies have little to no oversight or accountability.

OTTAWA — The RCMP says it’s looking to redeploy up to one-quarter of its eastern region workforce to areas considered an operational priority, including to the Canada-U.S. border.
U.S. president-elect Donald Trump pledged this week to impose 25-per-cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports until more is done to stem illegal border crossings and drug trafficking.
The threat spurred calls from premiers and opposition leaders for the federal Liberal government to do more to secure Canada’s border.
Among the voices was Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who says she is considering creating a provincial border patrol.
The eastern region for the RCMP includes Quebec and the four Atlantic provinces. Only Quebec and New Brunswick border the U.S. in this region.
